Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 48 - Sale of slaves

Chapter 48 - Sale of slaves

Katahara: Well, as for us, we are going to the lawless district.

All of Katahara's main crew left together with him in the direction of the lawless district.

As they walked through the place everyone saw them.

Soon they arrived at grove 1.

Katahara: Looks like they haven't arrived yet.... We're going to the auction house.

So they walked for a few minutes until they came to a giant house with Human as a sign.

The place was crowded with people ranging from fancy people to pirates.

But everyone stopped talking as soon as they saw Katahara's group.

Everyone knew that they were the Darks Crows, and that the one leading them was Bloody Crows with a bounty of 482 million.

Katahara and his crew ignored them and just walked into the place.

As soon as they entered they took a seat in the back.

A short time later 2 men appeared on stage

Announcer: MISTEEERRRR!!!DISCO!!!!!

Disco was a thin, eccentric man who had long silver hair, a yellow hat with pink flowers and glasses in the shape of stars. He also wore a purple coat and a pink scarf.

Disco: Guys, today we have some quality slaves for you..... You are in luck!!! Because today we have a jackpot for you!!!... So go pray that you can buy the slaves you like before others!!!!!

Then all the people started to shout.

Thus began the auction, the slaves they sold were nothing more than simple pirates and women for the pleasure of men or women.

And so the auction went on until it reached the final product.

Disc: ladies and gentlemen of the view...!!!! Of all the beasts they try to capture only a few succeed!!!!

All the people were excited to hear disco.

Disco: Straight from the Mink tribe!!!! Agrom the man-eater!!!!

Agrom was a Bear with a thick and abundant black color, reminiscent of a lion's mane because of the way it spreads down his neck and back, he has sharp teeth, a scar on his right eye that goes from his forehead to his cheek, a thick tail, he was obviously from the Mink Tribe.

When Katahara saw him he was interested in him.

Laffitte: Captain, that looks like a good specimen.

Van Augur: He has determination in his eyes.

I don't remember in the mango or anime there was such a character, heck he even looks more intimidating than Nekomamushi, Katahara thought.

Disk: The price of this great specimen is 750,000!!!!

At that moment Katahara was giving off a bloodlust all over the place.

Katahara: 800,000 Berry.

When they heard it no one said anything, because of how intimidating it sounded.

Disco: Oh we have 800.000 Berry! Who's bidding more...850.000!!!!

There was silence all over the place, because no one wanted to bid against Katahara.

Disco: Congratulations to the man in the back for 800,000 Berry.

Thus ended the auctions, at that moment some men told Katahara to follow him.

Katahara: Okay, let's go.

When Katahara followed the men, along with the whole crew.

Disco: Sir here is what I buy.

Katahara: Good.

At that moment Katahara took out the money and gave it to Disco.

Katahara: I heard you have a musician... maybe you could sell it to me too.

Disco watched him for a few moments while he took the money.

Disco: Byron an excellent musician, 600,000 Berry, since I'll take it to him before it comes up for auction.

Katahara just smiled and nodded, as he pulled out the money and handed it to Disco.

Disco: Please wait a moment.

Then 2 guards brought a man, he has long, blond and tousled hair, while his eyebrows are long and big. He has some beard and a scar on his face that goes down from his forehead to his eye.

She is wearing a dark coat and red vest with a white dress underneath. She also wears an orange strip over her brown pants.

Disco: These are the keys to the necklaces... But be careful that Mink is very dangerous, to capture him 3 dozen men died.

Katahara: I'll be careful, until the next Disco.

Then the whole crew left the auction house and went in the direction of their ship, along with the two slaves they bought.

As soon as they arrived they put in the middle of the deck while all the men and women looked at them, curiously.

Katahara: So Byron .... from now on you will be the musician of the band.

Byron just looked up and watched as a man approached to take the necklace from him.

Katahara: You will be able to have a normal life inside the ship or just leave as soon as you pay back the money I paid for you.

Byron: Thank you very much.... Katahara: Thank you very much.

Byron started to cry, knowing that he wouldn't be a toy of some king or worse a slave of a tenryuubito.

Katahara: Go and take a shower and eat something, the men will tell you where you will stay.

Agrom looked up and saw Katahara with fury.

Katahara: As for you Agrom.... You look like someone strong I guess with the right training.

Agrom: I'm not a damn slave.

Katahara: No... You're not, you're a warrior.... And I give you the chance to take revenge on your captors.

As soon as Agrom heard that a bloodlust emanated from him.

Katahara: It seems that revenge is what you are looking for... Why don't you join me.

Agrom was surprised by what he heard he didn't expect that answer.

Katahara: I won't force you to join me....

Then Katahara released him from the explosive collar.

Katahara: You can leave whenever you want. It will only be time before they recapture you and sell you as a slave.... But if you join me you will not only have revenge but also a place to call home.

Then Agrom saw Katahara and turned to look at all the people.

Agrom: I will join you.

Katahara: I figured you would do that....

At that moment Katahara looked him in the eyes.

Katahara: From now on you are part of the crew... Just remember there are only 2 rules on this ship, never betray and obeying your captain.

Agrom got up from the floor where he was kneeling.

Agrom: Of course captain.

Katahara: Laffitte take Agrom to where all the crew is, and give him something to eat.

Laffitte just nodded and took Agrom to the second deck where the soldiers of the crew were staying.

Katahara: Dabi, Robin and Urouge are not back yet.

Dabi: No captain, he wants us to send someone for them.

Katahara: That won't be necessary, they will be back soon.

Soon it got dark and Robin and Urouge returned.

Katahara: I hope you found everything you were looking for Robin.

Robin: Yes Captain I found all the books I was looking for, I also found these 7 people who know how to use Coating.

Katahara: That's good to hear...

your men and you Urouge can go to the second deck where they all stay.... As for you 7 wait

Urouge: As ordered captain....

Katahara then left where everyone was gathered.

They were all listening to the show of the new crew musician Byron.

Then Katahara took out a cigarette and started smoking, he turned and saw Urouge and Agrom who were chatting about something, and turned to them.

Katahara: Agrom, I hope you are in good condition.

Agrom: It's a nice place captain, and I'm in better condition now, Drust treated all my wounds.

Katahara: That's good, Drust is the doctor on board... Agrom will defend the ship together with Urouge and his men from any attack.

Katahara: Of course captain.

Then Agrom gets off the ship and waits on shore with Urouge's crew.

Urouge came down shortly after.

Katahara: Augur I want you to observe those two.

Augur only replied with a smile and disappeared into the shadows of the night.

Then Katahara went to her room.

While with Urouge and Agrom.

Urouge: So Agrom eh.... Looks like the captain rescued you too.

Agrom stopped what he was doing and looked at Urouge.

Agrom: We owe a lot to the captain, if it wasn't for him I would be a slave to some king or whatever... he also gave me a place.

Urouge: You know what it means to be part of the crew, especially wearing those suits.

Agrom just looked at him confused.

Urouge: Why do you think only 6 people wear this suit out of over 50.... These suits represent that you are close to our Captain and that he trusts them completely.... I owe a lot to the Captain I could say that thanks to him I am here right now.... They prevented me from being killed and helped me to become stronger.

Agrom: It seems that you owe them as much as I do.

At that moment dozens of pirates appeared looking to loot the ship.

Urouge: Looks like this is going to get fun.

Agrom: Finally someone to vent to.

Agrom and Urouge were the first to jump into the fray.

All those pirates full of greed were killed, it was a real massacre, no pirate was left alive, all were killed without mercy.
